Practices may vary in different jurisdictions. Generally the buyer's attorney arranges to have the title examined and the buyer pays the fee as part of their closing costs. However, if a title defect is disclosed and further research and corrective work must be done those costs are shifted to the seller.

The issue could also be negotiated whereby the title exam cost is paid by the seller.

What is the maximum per diem a seller can charge a buyer in a Real Estate transaction and how is it calculated?

What are you charging them for. They are purchasing a piece of property at the price you come to an agreement on. Other fees can also be including but they have to be listed seperately, so when the title changes hands the total cost to the buyer is indicated in the said columns, that come from all the costs incurred from the sale. Per diem is a term that means DAILY. People draw up contracts in all different terms but I never heard of any buyers paying a daily fee in a aquisition transaction. What exactly is it that you are seeking the buyer to pay to you. When a closing date is set and the closing doesnt happen usually the contract is cancelled unless the parties decide to mediate to keep the contract open....
